Buy Tadalafil Online in the UK With Next Day Delivery

Tadalafil can be ordered online in the UK through a registered pharmacy after a clinical assessment, with next day delivery available on eligible orders placed before the daily cut-off.

Most tadalafil is prescription-only. One product, Cialis Together 10mg, is a pharmacy medicine, supplied after a pharmacist's assessment. Either way, it is not sold without a professional check.

This page explains how the online process works, which strengths are available, how delivery timing works, and how to check that an online supplier is properly regulated.

Key things to know

• Most tadalafil is prescription-only in the UK, and cannot be supplied without a prescriber's assessment
• Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis, and generic tadalafil contains the same ingredient
• It is licensed for erectile dysfunction and, separately, the urinary symptoms of an enlarged prostate
• It comes as a lower daily dose for ongoing treatment, or higher strengths taken as needed
• Next day delivery is only possible after your consultation has been reviewed and approved
• A regulated UK online pharmacy is listed on the General Pharmaceutical Council register
• Tadalafil must not be combined with nitrates or other erectile dysfunction medicines

What Tadalafil Is and What It Treats

Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor. In the UK it is licensed for two uses: erectile dysfunction, and the urinary symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, an enlarged prostate. Some men are prescribed it for one, some for both, and a prescriber decides which applies.

How It Works

Tadalafil relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation. It does not cause an erection on its own. Its effect lasts much longer than some other PDE5 inhibitors, up to 36 hours after a dose.

When taken as needed, it is taken at least 30 minutes before sexual activity. Take no more than one tablet in 24 hours.

The right strength and regimen depend on your health, other medicines and response. On-demand tadalafil and daily tadalafil suit different patterns of use.

Tadalafil Compared With Other PDE5 Inhibitors

Four PDE5 inhibitors are licensed in the UK: sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil and avanafil. Sildenafil and tadalafil each have one specific pharmacy-medicine product, Viagra Connect and Cialis Together. Otherwise, all four are prescription-only.

This is for general orientation, not a basis for choosing between them. A prescriber is best placed to say which suits your health history.

Who Can Use Tadalafil?

Eligibility is confirmed by a prescriber, but the online assessment screens for:

• Age. Tadalafil is licensed for adult men
• Current medicines, particularly nitrates and other medicines for chest pain
• Heart history, including a recent heart attack, stroke or uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Eye conditions, including any history of certain optic nerve conditions
• Liver and kidney function, which affect how the medicine is processed
• Interacting medicines, such as ketoconazole and certain HIV medicines

The prescriber also considers conditions such as sickle cell anaemia that can affect suitability.

How to Get Tadalafil Online

1. Complete an online consultation. A structured set of questions about your health history, current medicines and relevant conditions. It usually takes a few minutes
2. A UK registered prescriber reviews your answers. This may be a pharmacist or doctor with prescribing qualifications, and each assessment is reviewed individually rather than approved automatically
3. A prescription is issued if appropriate. The pharmacy then dispenses it
4. Your order is dispatched by tracked delivery, with next day delivery where the consultation and order are completed before the cut-off

If the prescriber needs more information, they may contact you before deciding, which can affect how quickly your order is processed.

How Delivery Timing Works

A consultation completed in the morning may be reviewed the same day. Once approved, the pharmacy dispenses it and hands it to the courier before the day's cut-off, and it arrives the next working day.

A consultation completed later in the day, or one where the prescriber needs more information, may be dispatched the following working day instead. Current delivery options and cut-off times are set out in our delivery policy, and confirmed at checkout.

Is It Safe to Buy Tadalafil Online?

It is safe when a UK-regulated pharmacy supplies it after a genuine clinical assessment. It is not safe when a website offers tadalafil with no consultation, no prescriber review and no way to verify its registration.

How to Check a Pharmacy Is Registered

If you are buying from an online pharmacy in Great Britain, check that it is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council, using the GPhC register rather than information on the website. The rules differ for Northern Ireland, so the relevant regulator depends on where the seller operates.

Do not rely on the old EU common logo as proof that a Great Britain-based website is legitimate. GB-based sellers have not been required to display it since 1 January 2021.

Red Flags

• No online consultation, or one that approves every answer automatically
• No named UK registered pharmacy or prescriber anywhere on the site
• No GPhC registration number, or one that does not match the register
• Guarantees of same-day supply with no mention of clinical review
• Pressure tactics or artificial urgency on a prescription medicine

Safety Information

Common Side Effects

Most people tolerate tadalafil well. Side effects are usually mild, such as headache, indigestion, back pain, muscle aches, facial flushing and a blocked or runny nose. Your prescriber will explain what to expect and when to raise something.

Who It Is Not Suitable For

Tadalafil must not be taken with nitrate medicines, because the combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure. It also should not be combined with riociguat, or with other erectile dysfunction medicines.

If you have certain heart conditions, eye conditions, or significant kidney or liver problems, your prescriber may adjust the dose or suggest a different treatment, so give a full medical history.

Missed Doses

If you take tadalafil daily and miss a dose, follow the instructions from your prescriber and in the leaflet. Do not take a double dose to make up for it.

When to Seek Urgent Help

Seek urgent medical attention for an erection lasting four hours or longer, known as priapism, since delayed treatment can cause permanent damage. The same applies to chest pain, or sudden changes in vision or hearing.

What the Evidence Says

NICE recommends PDE5 inhibitors, including tadalafil, as a first-line medicine for erectile dysfunction. Clinical studies show tadalafil improves erectile function and the ability to have successful intercourse compared with placebo. Tadalafil 5mg is also licensed for enlarged prostate symptoms.

Generic tadalafil is made by several manufacturers and meets the same regulatory standards as the branded product.

The evidence relates to tadalafil's two licensed uses only, and outcomes vary between individuals, so no supplier can guarantee a particular result. If your symptoms do not improve, raise it with your prescriber rather than simply reordering.
